'They were spat out in the ruthless drive for power, wealth, & priviledge, which is the cornerstone of the Rawat religion.'
Actually, the drive for anything at all within Maharism is really connected with the ad hoc feelings or reactions of Prem at any one time.
There is nothing more deep or intelligent or really debatable than that.
Every swing within the system is nothing more than keeping up with Prem's particular feelings of the time.
I like your quote about power, wealth and privilege because it conjures up the notion of an elite of not totally unintelligent premie core boogying it up at Daya's at Amaroo, maybe touching the children, and feeling they are part of some Master race.
Needless to say, the whole notion is so nerdy and, well, sublimely pretty stupid, that any reasonable person would really honk at this.
But - it does exist. At the same time, those who can't attend because of pauperdom or just lack of reasonable funds, could be regarded by the attendees (brushing Daya's diaphonous garmentry) as poor sods, who can't well, hack it, somehow.
Needless to say, this is all too completely trashily stupid by any notion whatever of a spiritual nature.
The hoi polloi believe there is maybe still an underlying truth of beauty and democracy of awareness found through simple practice of the meditation techniques, and they are not actually wrong IMO.
Sure, there is a power within which IMO is immortal, quite personal and loving, and which can be found through meditation.
The problem was when Prem went outside the loop through his own desires and sometimes having to bury these from observation of others.
But it still happens that this internal power still exists, and is still there for us all.
Through the murky eyes of Maharajism which we all experienced - so well and truly beautifully in so many cases - the great bottom line of truth within and accessible still remains, as supremely beautiful as ever - despite the sillinesses sometimes of history, and the failings of personal teachers.
We, who have taken this path and been fucked over slightly should maybe remember that this is still valid and supremely lovely, connected with our own internal conscience, realising that all of the beautiful and truthful realisations remain exactly the same, despite the limitations of any particular teacher.
Best wishes,
